Step 5: Completing the Operating System Installation
When your system powers on for the first time, Windows will
have a few questions for you to answer in order to localize your
installation.
NOTE: You’ll need a USB keyboard connected to your system in order
to answer some of the questions that require text input.
Refer to your operating system’s manual for information on any
of the questions you are unsure how to answer.
Step 6: Navigating with the Touch Screen
Unlike a standard laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational
activities on a Tablet PC are completed using the stylus pen, or
even your fingers. Navigating with a touch screen is different
from navigating with a mouse. The pen will interact with the
computer whenever you touch it to the screen.
Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen.
Instead of sliding the pen around the screen, just tap on what
you want to interact with. Sliding the pen while lightly touching
the tip to the screen will move the on-screen pointer around as
if you were using a mouse and holding down the left mouse
button. In other words, you would be performing what is known
as a drag operation.
Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to the touch,
resting your hand on the screen while using the pen might make
the pointer react unpredictably.
TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with
the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead
of the tip of the pen.
Tapping lightly on the screen will perform a standard left mouse
button click. Holding the tip of the pen against the screen with-
out moving it for about a second or so will perform a standard
right mouse button click.
